Quattro Group British Supersport and British GP2 Championships: It’s Currie at the double!

13 August 2023

Ben Currie waited all year for a win, and two came along at once as he stormed to a stunning double at Thruxton.

Following Saturday’s Sprint race victory, Currie played the long game in the Feature battle, making a steady charge from the third row to hit the front with two laps to go before holding off Rhys Irwin and Tom Booth-Amos to win by 0.979secs.

Irwin and Booth-Amos ended the race in a fierce battle for second, Irwin finishing runner-up just 0.354s ahead of Booth-Amos.

Luke Stapleford, who had led around half of the laps of the race, eventually finished fourth with TJ Toms fifth.

Joe Collier completed a double in the GP2 class as he finished ninth overall on the Kramer. Cameron Fraser was second in class, with Harvey Claridge third.
